zomg, packing
Today (Sunday) I have been v. good and worked on packing rather than the zillion writeups I wanna do. Okay, there were breaks, but they consisted of: church in the morning, cleaning elsewhere in the house, eating/making/buying food, CSI: Weekends, and brief breaks for sanity and/or overheating.
I almost enjoy the organizationalness of packing, but the whole process of going through stuff I haven't looked at in ages and figuring out what to do with it all is tiring. Though with so much stuff, the separate piles and boxes can get a bit overwhelming as well.
My biggest concern, I think, is what to do with all my old writings. All the reading material can get boxed up and actually read (and then passed on), but I have so many notebooks (we're talking dating back to high school, maybe earlier) with beginnings of stuff, and I dread even beginning tackle the piles and piles of that.
Throughout the day, my brother kept on my case, which at first was the opposite of motivating, but I actually got a lot done -- yes, in large part due to him.
Am v. glad Monday is a holiday so I can hopefully get the difficult packing done and be left with the easy "put books in boxes" type packing for evenings afterwork. Really hope to move on Saturday. Must call landlord on Monday to remind him about the windows. (My current plan is that I'm moving in on Saturday regardless, but I would really like to have that item off my To Worry About list as I'm sure I'll have a slew of other apartment-related items on that list.)
